The Invisible Hand could grab you by the throat
And pull you down choking, gasping for air.
If you won't heed the words he never wrote
Your future may be filled with despair.
If you don't follow his precepts never spoken
Navigating this life may prove formidable;
For he will leave you penniless and broken
Without feeling a tinge of guilt.
If your skill or talent is not in demand
If your education steered the wrong way
You will be swept aside by the Invisible Hand
Who won't hear your cries as he fades away
Never has there lived a ruler more indifferent
The needs of his people are far from his mind
You can accuse him, but that’s not what he meant
He’s not interested, but he’s not unkind
